The only thing I find that is funny is how every celebrity out there is acting like they are Jackson's best friend. They all are worshipping him at every moment, yet when he was alive, they didnt give a crap about him.

I will go ahead and say its funny as hell that the regular bush bashers here (you know, the toolbags that say he is a war criminal and should be thrown in jail and waterboarded) are saying Jackson did nothing wrong since he was never convicted. So selective with their outrage.

This country is messed up because we ignore the law when its inconvienent.

And you bash her all the time because you "think" (or lack thereof) and that's what this politician is doing.

See here is where I disagree with you. Maybe it's a NY thing (I was raised in NY). I agree with his comments and find them dead on the money.

Just because someone dies, that doesn't magically transform them into a good person if they were not, make them normal if they were a freak, or remove the fact that they were a pervert or pedophile if they were one.

Now I have no way to know if Michael Jackson was in fact a pedophile, but I do know that he did ridiculous, strange, and poorly reflecting things such as letting strange boys sleep in his bed. I do know that he paid millions in hush money to children and their families, and I know that he dangled his kids from balconies and made them wear masks and gloves like little freaks.

So maybe you think it's tacky to speak of someone truthfully once they're dead but I don't. If you didn't deserve my respect when alive, then you certainly don't deserve it once you die.

What I think is tacky is this idol worship and show biz crap with people who have never met Jackson acting like they were his best friend or parent. Total strangers flying to LA to attend a service for someone who wrote and performed songs 25 to 30 years ago. That's a bit strange in my book. Sure, you enjoyed his music; you're sad he's dead....got it. To act like the end of the world has arrived because Michael Jackson died demonstrates the intellect of many Americans.

Yeah because a 40 year old sleeping with little boys isnt stupid. Making close to a billion dollars and being in debt isnt stupid.

It's his bed, his money and his fans that have choosen to go out of their way to memorialize him. If something happened criminal in that bed, prove it, otherwise we don't convict people for being stupid. If that were the case Bush and Palin would be doing life without parole. I don't condone sleeping in a bed with kids but the parents of said kids approved of it, maybe you should be attacking them. A parent is the one charged with protecting their child.

It all reaks of jealousy to me. This Congressman is using MJs death as a platform to spout off, plain and simple.

People still memorialize Elvis and he's been dead for 30 years and was a drug addict that stole his entire act from James Brown.
